For the past week I was in Texas with my sister's club team for the Junior Olympics. It was amazing! The whole experience was something that I've never experienced before. The athletes that were there amazed me. I saw little 11 and 12 year olds hitting the ball like they were 18. I seriously dream of the day when Kylee will be old enough to play. I already "train" her a little here and there! She has awesome form baby!! Ha ha! Anyway, I was excited to go to Texas for the first time too. We played in a huge convention center with over 50 courts in one facility. It was crazy! I hope that I can take my team next year and that we qualify because I want to get back there so bad! It was awesome!
These are some pictures of the team. They had to walk out to the middle of the court before every game and wave to the crowd. It was so "official" because it was the Olympics.
Here's the pretty gang early in the morning eating our free hot breakfast at the Embassy Suites!

I would've taken more pictures but I forgot half the time. I really wish that I would've taken pictures of the incredible green scenery all around. It was SOOO green! But it was increcibly humid! Yuck! We all went to Six Flags on our last day and that was so fun! I went on the biggest roller coaster of my life. I can't believe how high it was! The drop went on forever. I thought I was going to pass out! But it was fun and such a rush!!! I can now say that I've been to Texas! And that I've been to the Junior Olympics. It was awesome!!!
